Apparently according to this thread I've been stiffing people with 25pp everywhere I go because I rarely have more than 100pp to my name anyway.

Also idk about this whole "I'm lvl 35 and have 3k pp" stuff. I've played melee every char I've ever had in EQ and in my experience it's incredibly hard to end up with money until you're maxed and have some good drops from camps. While leveling, you're trying to get a few hundred plat to find some str gear and then you're back to just exping. Money making is a conscious decision that many people just do not do.

But yeah I'm sure the guy who clicked 3 buttons to get me to wc is really mad he only got 25pp for it.
I definitely agree there is a difference between melee and casters when it comes down to money.

Saying that, the 3kpp is on a Shaman that is equipped with a full set of Banded Armor, 2x 5ac/55hp rings, 2x 3+ WIS earrings, and still rocking a Staff of the Observers that I picked up for 200pp before Kunark was released.

So it was not meant as some sort of a flex. I'm less than 10% towards being able to purchase a JBB at level 45 (which is what I'm saving up for) and I don't even want to think of how far off I am from acquiring a Fungi Tunic or Staff.

Obviously, although it's slower going, my need for equipment is less necessary than melee classes. But still, I've had people attempt to give me 5pp for SoWing them. If you're able to obtain level 60 on a melee class, I have a hard time understanding how you wouldn't have friends or guild mates willing to port you around for free and/or 60pp to spare. Again, just my (newb) perspective...
